Message:205.188.193.57 writes:

I am trying to find the father of John Jackson Dozier listed in the 1860 Coffee co. census and in the 1880 Coffee county census. I have read quite a bit of information on the Doziers and this generation is missing. His son, Daniel , listed as being 3 months old in the 1860 census is my husbands grandfather. Any information as to his death, etc. would be appreciated.

I also noticed a query about the old Dozier cemetery. It was mentioned as a newly found cemetery. Anyone have any information about this? I hear there is one on the Davis property , is this the same one?

Hello, all:I would like to correspond with someone related to or anyone who knows any information about the Chappell family in Elba, AL. Pearl (Williams) Chappell is the sister of my paternal Grandmother, Georgia Gertrude Williams Gay. I do not know if they have relatives still living in the area or not, but they did have several children.

My gr-grandfather's twin brother, Zeno Miner Rudd died in Elba November 15-16, 1935 and according to his death certificate was buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Is there anyone who could possibly find an obit or who has a listing of Evergreen which might show which other members of the family are there? I'd appreciate it very much. I could reciprocate with a possible lookup in the DC area. Harry Rudd of Bowie, Md

My name is Jeff Howard. I was searching for someone born in Coffee county and came across this site. The following information comes from my maternal grandmother, who is in her 80's now and sometimes gets facts a little mixed up. However, my mother and aunts, who have known much of this story over the years, feel pretty good about the accuracy of the information. Here is my story:

My grandmother and grandfather were married in 1932 in Blount County. My grandmother's younger sister, Ruby Price, came to live with them shortly after they were married. Somewhere along the way, Ruby became pregnant by my grandfather in the mid-30's. Because of the potential for an embarrassing family scandal, my grandfather, grandmother, and Ruby soon moved to Elba, AL, to carry out Ruby's pregnancy, have the baby, and find someone to take the baby. Apparently, my grandfather found work in Elba, and that's why they went there. He sent for the other two to join him by train after he found work.

While in Elba, they rented a house from someone named Pearl Mcgehee (spelling?). They told her the situation while they were there. After the baby was born, Pearl fell in love with the baby. It was a beautiful girl with a head full of black hair. Pearl said she knew a couple who could not have kids and who would love to have the baby. So, they left the baby with Pearl. My grandmother thinks that Pearl may have even kept the baby herself because she was so crazy about the baby. We don't know for sure.

Pearl named the baby Montes or Montez (spelling?). There is a small chance it was named Margarett Ann, but we think Montes or Montez or something similar. We don't know if this name was retained or not.

My grandmother says she was born on December 16th somewhere between 1934 and 1938. We can't be sure of this date because of her memory, but she insists.

My grandmother and grandfather went on to have six children and they were a great and loving family. My grandmother and Ruby are both still alive, although Ruby is in a nursing home with Alzheimers Disease.

My mother and aunts would love to know what ever became of their half-sister. She shares their father, and her mother is their mother's sister.

My grandfather's name was Ralph Henderson Richey. My grandmother said that a doctor delivered the baby, not a midwife.

Any information we could learn about our missing relative would be GREATLY appreciated. She would be in her early to mid 60's now.

Researching LEE & CALLIE MARTIN in Coffee Co. The children were: OTHA, FRED, WILLIAM E., GEORGE, AUTREY, WYATT.Please contact me if you have any information on this family.Thanks,P.J. STRICKLANDmstric5514@angelfire.com

I am looking for any information on the family of George Smith who married Henrietta Hudson. He was born early 1850's (1854). His mother was named Nancy and was from S.C. They had at least 4 possibly 5 children: Alice, Genia, Malone, and Ab. I have heard that he may have been German. Any info will be appreciated.

I only this week learned that my great grandfather, John Bishop, joined the 33rd Alabama Regimentfrom Coffee County in 1862 and served until the end of the war, being wounded in the siege of Atlanta. In 1869 he moved to Limestone County, Texas, married and had a family there. On his pension application in 1906, three men from Coffee County were his "witnesses": P.G. Ham, William Ham, and W.D. Bryan all of Elbu, AL. Any information on any of these people, especially the Bishop family, would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for any info on the several Blount families who resided in Coffee Co. Charley Milton Blount marr. Elizabeth/Lizzie Davidson, I need marr. date, etc. and anything else on this family. Thanks for any help.

Bessie L. McCall Russell was a midwife in Coffee & possibly Geneva counties. I need to know if anyone has a name that states that she delivered an ancestor or relative. Bessie was born in Coffee about 1898. What was the criteria/registration, etc. for midwives in those days? I need the history of midwives in SE Alabama. Thanks a lot. Judy

I am researching the Andrew Jackson Weeks & Plseda(Plassedie) Pierce family. Jackson's parents were Washington Weeks & Mary Ellen Fleming. I am trying to find out who Washington's parents were. I believe they were Benjamin Weeks & Jemimah Harrison but I am not sure. I would also like any info on the Pierce or Fleming side. Can anyone give me any info on this family? jwsmith@alaweb.com

I am the granddaughter of Minnie and Daniel Powell Kelley who resided in the Bluff Springs Community of Coffee County. Both were previously from Pike County.

I am interesting in hearing from any members of this very large family. I am especially interested in receiving any family history. I have scant information about Minnie. She said her maiden name was Faulk; however, I have learned that Faulk (possibly Paulk) was a foster familly name. Her birth name may have been Money.

I'm looking for any info on my great-grandfather, Arthur W. Hanks, who came into Coffee County probably in the 1860's from Virginia along with a family of Rhodes. I'd be especially interested in knowing which cemetary he's buried in (somewhere in Enterprise). His wife was Harriet Cox. I'd also be interested in knowing why he left Virginia and the nature of his relationship with the Rhodes family. I know that at least one of his brothers (John Hanks) married an Ida Rhodes and that some of their relatives are likely still living in Enterprise. Thanks for any light you can shed!

I cannot help you with your query, but the name Thames caught my eye. I have a lady names Thames married to a William Jordan. I believe they lived in Coffee county around 1860-1865. Do you have any of these folks in your database/tree? William fought in the Civil War.

I am researching the ancestors of William Enoch Jordan. He migrated from NC to Heard County, GA and finally to Coffee County. He arrived in CC between 1843 and 1845. He appears on page 323, line 4 of the 1850 census for Coffee County. He is 47 yoa and his family is listed. In that census record, he also has an older Jordan woman living in the house. She is 70 yoa. Both she and William Enoch were born in NC. I believe the older woman is William Enoch's mother. I would like to be able to use her name as part of my research into possible Jordan ancestors in NC. My problem is that I cannot read the name of the Jordan woman on the scanned image I find in the S-K Publications web page referrenced from the CC web site. I have ordered a CD of the 1850 census, but I am not sure that it will help. If you know someone who could look at the original census record and try to decipher the name, I would love to hear from you.

Searching for descendents of Stephen Lyman DAMON and Amanda M. BROWN. He died in 1887 and she lived until 1921. He was born Nov 16, 1816, probably at Hawley, Mass. He was listed on 1855 and 1860 COFFEE County census. Both are buried in the Newton Cemetery, Dale County, Alabama. Amanda was the youngest daughter of Aaron and Bashaba Brown.

1999 Seeking information
regarding the family of Burrell H. &
Gerina (SIZEMORE MOORE) ROBINSON. They
appear with children on the 1860 census of
Coffee Co., AL, and apparently resided in the
portion that became part of Crenshaw Co. in
1866, as they appear in this county on the
1870 census. Burrell (1822-1904) m1. 1844 in
Talbot Co, GA to Ferlinia SIZEMORE (b. 1828).
Known children: John G. ROBINSON, b. ca.
1846; Thomas Richard ROBINSON, b. 1848; and
Mary Ann ROBINSON (b. 1849?). Ferlinia's
sister Gerina (sometimes Jurina) SIZEMORE (b.
1823) m. 1844 in Talbot Co, GA to Asa C.
"Acee" MOORE (b. ca. 1817). Known children:
William M. MOORE, b. 1845; Rhoda Emily MOORE,
b. ca. 1847, m. Noah McHENRY; James R. MOORE,
b. ca. 1849; and Caroline G. MOORE, b. 1852.
Ferlinia d. 1850-52, and Acee d. 1852.
Burrell m. 1852 in Talbot Co. to his former
sister-in-law Gerina. Acee MOORE's siblings
went to court to gain control of his estate
so that Acee's money would not go to support
Burrell ROBINSON's children by his first wife
or from his "intermarriage" with Gerina, so
Burrell and Gerina moved before 1860 to AL.
That year, Gerina's father, George Washington
SIZEMORE, appeared in their household.
Children of Burrell and Gerina: Clarah A.
ROBINSON, b. ca. 1854; and Burrell S.
ROBINSON, b. ca. 1857. Interested in any
information regarding this family. Will be
glad to furnnish background (SIZEMORE), as
well as descendants of both Thomas R. and
Mary Ann ROBINSON to those interested. John
